guys, I sope to NVC about Item 23 in Pkt 3. They asked m to fax over high school info also.
It seems they prefer to have all educational institutions attended from elementary school till graduation.
I faxed over the amendment to Attn: P4. I hope they will add this one also to my file.
The operator was saying that faxing amendments could result in delays as my case could go back to the end of the review queue . Does any one have a similar experience ??
My case reached on May 7.

July interview
Hi guys, since I have been following this thread since inception, I thought I\'d mention I sent my P3 on May 7 and Sydney consulate sent me a fax (in response to my query) and have scheduled me for a July interview.
Something which may be of interest for you guys is the process itself. If the processing of your case is complete at the consulate by say 6th of the month then they put in a request for a Visa number for the following month by the 7th. Thus for example if your processing is complete at the consulate by 6th June, they will send a request for a Visa number (for July) which is generally released by DOS on the 8th of each month. Once the consulates have the visa numbers they give firm appointments. Thus appointments are posted on the web by Mumbai on after the 13th of each month. In some consulates such as Mumbai sometimes they take more than a month because they have a huge number of interviews. That is my 2c worth of interpretation. I may be wrong.

Subject: Revision of Consular Fees

Revision of the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services
The U.S. Department of State has revised the Schedule of Fees for
Consular Services. The new schedule will be effective June 1, 2002, at
which time fees for consular services, excepting passport services, provided
by the Department of State and by U.S. embassies and consulates abroad will
change. Passport related fees will be revised effective August 19, 2002.
These adjustments will bring our fees into line with the actual costs of
consular services.
The State Department is required by Federal regulations and law to
recover the costs of most consular services through user fees, and must
adjust the Fee Schedule periodically to comply with that requirement.
The last major revision of the Fee Schedule was in 1998. The new
Schedule is based on a cost-of-service study conducted by an independent
contractor under the supervision of the Department and reflects the cost of
providing consular services in 2002. The new fees are essential to
maintaining and improving high-quality customer service while taking
advantage of advances in information technology and enhancing the security
features of those services that are related to homeland security.
Overseas, the nonimmigrant visa application fee will increase to $65
(from $45). This increased fee will recover the actual cost of the service,
including the Machine Readable Visa and processing through our sophisticated
name-check technology. Immigrant visa fees will rise to $335 (from $325).
Adjustments to fees of services for American citizens overseas include the
Consular Report of Birth Abroad documentation fee, which will be raised to
$65 (from $40), while the fee for performance of notarial services will be
lowered to a two-tiered schedule costing $20 to $30, depending on service
rendered (from $55).
Information about the new fee schedule was published in the Federal
Register on March 28, 2002. The final rule was promulgated on May 16, 2002.

P3 not yet received by NVC
hi all,
back after a little while. I had sent in my P3 to STL on May 8, and it was apparently received by someone at 6.00 AM the next day ( As per the USPS tracking)! hmm. however, my MO has not been encashed yet. Any idea how long it takes? I guess I still have aweek or so to go.
On another note, got the PCC from CGNY. 45 days had passed, so I got ti stamped and all directly from the consulate.
I also got my passport renewed. do I have to inform any of these offices about it?
let\'s keep out fingers crossed.

Here is what I am doing. I think the procedure must be same whereever you get money order from.
I got MO from a local bank. I got a carbon copy of the actual money order. There is a toll
Free number and serial number on top of that copy. You call that number and follow the
Options and enter the serial number. If it is still outstanding, it says \' outstanding\' otherwise
It says \'has been paid on so and so date\'.
